Would lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer correct my under eyes? (Photos)

You are an excellent candidate for a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. Your age is not a contra-indication to the surgery. Eyelid ectropion or retraction is very rare.

Best Wishes,

What appears as a lower eyelid bag can be caused by herniated orbital fat. A behind the eyelid, transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with arcus marginalis release (rotation of the fat into a little pocket on the cheek) handles this beautifully. However there are some individuals where the thing that looks like a "bag" is actually caused by something els like the bony orbital rim. Put your finger on it. If it feels soft it is likely fat. If it is hard an is your orbital rim, there is your answer. Do not get free grafted fats to this area. Do not get a lower eyelid blepharoplasty performed through an incision below the eyelashes. If you are using eyelash growth serum to grow thicker, darker, longer lashes, stop these products immediately as they are harmful to the fat in the eyelids and prematurely age your appearance.

A trans-conjunct approach removal of the herniated fat bags in the lower lids is all you're going to need. The incisions are red.located completely on the inside of the eyelid. No external incisions are required, and no sutures are required either.
